“Akpan stole N3, 500, two tablets, some jewelleries, and a generator from the house before fleeing,” he said.
The police commissioner noted that Apkan and Ekpe were apprehended in a village in Ogun State, stating that an investigation was underway and that the two suspects would be charged in court as a result of the findings.
“Last month, we paraded several offenders implicated in different types of offences, some of whom are now cooling their heels in various correctional facilities throughout the state.
“Though advertising our exploits has never been my form of policing, it often becomes necessary to do so in the expectation that criminals would refrain from committing crimes.
“During the time of investigation, my officers and men retained a strong sense of professional integrity, which resulted in arrests and parades of suspects,” he added.
